    Morning buses

    Bus 4953. It’s a 2010 Nova LFS. It’s a one off that Disney acquired before we purchased buses 5000-5009 which we call Super Novas. The reverse and drive buttons are backwards in this unit also.

    Animal Kingdom Lodge Buses and Character breakfast

    If there are times when no guests are going to the park, the driver, at their discretion, may ask the dispatcher to drop you off directly at the hotel. Remember, there are early breakfasts in the parks (Crystal Palace, Tusker House, etc.) that guests need to get to. You will never see a bus...

    Animal Kingdom Lodge Buses and Character breakfast

    We haven't run breakfast buses in years. Park transportation starts approximately 1.5 hours before park opening. Take the bus to the park that is CLOSEST to your reservation and make your transfer there. So to get to Ohana, take the Magic Kingdom bus and transfer to either the resort monorail or...

    Disney has now responded...1 million dollar donation to OneOrlando

    The fund was set up by Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer, so I would assume that the city is going to somehow administer the fund. Since the shooting, the city and Orlando PD has had a family meeting and info center for the victims. Today is the first day that our local TV stations do not have the news...

    Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    You can see from the seating area. But you will be on the backside of the show. I wear a jacket in the winter. Remember, to us Floridians, anything below 65° is freezing.

    Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Like you said, if I were yelling, YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. Don't ask me things have been built they they've been built for the last 25 years. Ask Iger. He's the one slashing and cutting at WDW and DL (thanks Shanghai). Ask Gillig and Nova/Prevost. They build the buses. I'm just a dumb retired...

    Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Last time I checked, I am the one who sits behind the steering wheel for 10 hours a day, so I still do not understand how you can tell me how my vehicle operates. I do not come to your office and tell you how your computer or copier should operate. The 1989 RTS had a toggle switch (On/Off) as...

    Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    The temperature control is behind the intake in the back of the bus and only accessible by the mechanics. Next time you ride with me, I'll be more than happy to ride to your resort without the air running. Once you're sweltering, you'll be begging to have it turned back on. Either way, I have...

    Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Disney bus driver here! We do not control the A/C temperature. All we can do it on and off. The buses are kept cold to keep germs down. If you've ever been in an operating room, it was kept cold for the same reason. And if we turn it off, the bus get very warm and humid very quick. Once it gets...

    Training is about 8-9 weeks long. He will most likely be working late nights after training is completed. Also, overtime is available. Most people who do not volunteer for overtime get the worse shifts. Those that volunteer get better overtime. The hours are there, and he should work at as many...
